"Yue girl, our village has 62 households and 504 people. It's considered a relatively small village in Qingshan Town. You know, there are 15 villages in the entire town. It's quite sad..."
After listening to Grandma Li, Li Mengyue felt that it was necessary for her to build a farm. In addition to raising ducks, she could also raise chickens.
The locust snack thing can be done for a while, and once everyone knows that locusts are edible, she won't have to do it anymore.
However, the farm still needs to be opened, otherwise it would be a shame to have an unlimited breeding base in the space.
"What's wrong, Yue girl, what's the matter?" asked the village chief's wife in confusion.
"It's okay, Village Chief Granny, I'm just asking casually."
Seeing that Li Mengyue did not look like she was in trouble, he began to warmly invite Li Mengyue to have dinner.
Li Mengyue saw that in addition to the stewed rabbit meat on the dining table, there was also a dish of stir-fried vegetables, steamed buns made of two-grain flour, mixed with white rice and multi-grain porridge, and the only bowl of steamed egg custard was placed in front of her.
Looking at the food, Li Mengyue realized that Grandma Li had taken out all the food at home to entertain her.
Although she had eaten countless delicacies from land and sea, she really felt the least delicious after eating the food on the table in front of her.
"Girl Yue, come here. This piece of meat has no bones. Don't be polite. Eat it quickly."
She was very touched when she saw Grandma Li holding a serving chopstick and picking up a piece of pork for her.
But she also knew that Grandma Li and her family hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Today, she had eaten a big pot of chicken stew, so she was not really hungry.
So he pushed the egg custard on hand to Zebao.
"Zebao, Sister Yue can't finish this bowl of egg custard. Can you help her eat it?"
Even though Zebao is a child and the treasure of the family, he hasn't eaten egg custard for a long time.
Although he wanted to eat it very much, he also knew that it was made by his grandmother specially for Sister Yue, and he couldn't eat it.
"Sister Yue, please eat quickly. Zebao doesn't feel like eating."
As he said this, he sucked his saliva.
Seeing that Zebao was really eager to eat but was trying hard to restrain himself, Li Mengyue felt so distressed that she picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of egg custard and fed it to Zebao without saying anything.
Zebao suddenly ate the fragrant and soft egg custard. He was reluctant to swallow it all at once. He savored it carefully and said to Li Mengyue, "Sister Yue, the egg custard is so delicious!"
Li Mengyue touched Zebao's head with her other hand and said softly, "If Zebao likes it, eat more. The rest of it is all for Zebao, okay?"
Seeing that Li Mengyue really didn't want to eat, Zebao nodded his little head and said considerately, "Sister Yue doesn't like to eat, Zebao will finish it for Sister Yue."
Seeing how deliciously Zebao was eating, Li Mengyue praised him, "Good boy, this is what a good child should be."
The village chief's wife saw her grandson happily eating the egg custard, opened her mouth, said nothing, and sighed. She also felt sorry for her grandson.
Then he said to Li Mengyue with a smile: "Yue girl, look, that's the steamed egg custard that Grandma Li made for you, and you gave it to Zebao."
"Grandma Li, I like little Zebao. I'm happy as long as Zebao likes to eat."
Although Li Mengyue didn't eat much during this meal, she enjoyed it very much and also experienced firsthand how difficult the villagers' lives were.
After all, in the eyes of the villagers, the village chief's family conditions are already very good, but in her opinion, if they can't even guarantee food and clothing, then what's good about it?
In this case, the establishment of the breeding farm must begin as soon as possible.
After dinner, Li Mengyue talked to the village head’s wife about helping to find someone and doing some housework the next day, and then went home.
